“Did You Hear That? The Physics of Sound”
Presented by Eric McRae
Principal Electrical Engineer, University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory
This talk will cover the basics of sound creation, propagation and perception, both in air and in water. You’ll learn how we hear, the role of sound in how bats and Orca locate their food, and some peculiar characteristics of sound that are often experienced but rarely understood. Finally, there will also be a discussion about those noisy ships and jets.
